Biblioteca FR de Barcelona | Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain (Library)

My last stop on my #Interrail trip was #Barcelona ??. It was hot and crowded, but I got to visit the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Casa Batlló, Casa Vicens and the Aquarium at the port. During these 16 days, I managed to read a lot books, mostly #romance, which is why this famous mural is very fitting.

Amiable Very cool! 3mo

The Shadow of the Wind | Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I reread this recently for Bookclub. I enjoyed the atmosphere and writing and the character of Fermin ❤️. However, I read it first 20 years ago, and I remember being excited and enthusiastic about it then. This time it felt a bit laborious , although it‘s still magical. It was a very different experience. I wasn‘t as blown away. It can be interesting rereading a book. 🤔

LeeRHarry I felt exactly the same when I reread this one. I stayed up all night reading it the first time round. 😊 7mo

Cathythoughts @LeeRHarry Really ! So interesting , maybe it‘s for a younger reader 🤔 YA (edited) 7mo

LeahBergen I suspect that I‘d feel much the same way! 7mo

Cathythoughts @LeahBergen Right. I don‘t reread much, only if I have to … 👍🏻❤️ 7mo

EverydayImReading @Cathythoughts My sentiments exactly. I was obsessed with it when I first read it. And now having reread it not so much. My score for book club was half way between both experiences. I couldn‘t score down as it did give me so much joy first time around. Maybe we shouldn‘t go back. It‘s the Wuthering heights effect 😬 7mo

Cathythoughts @EverydayImReading Well put Sinead. It is the Wuthering Heights effect 😂👍🏻 7mo

Cathythoughts @EverydayImReading Heathcliff looked a lot different second time round 😳 7mo

Shortcut to Paradise | Teresa Solana

pick

This is a nicely paced crime novel paved with a lot of humor; my first read by this author. A famous writer of romance novels is murdered the night she is awarded a tremendous prize in Barcelona. The main suspect, also a finalist, has a strong alibi as the night of the crime he has been robbed by an unusual thief. A team of two fake detectives are hired to find the thief and discover who the real killer is.
